Tigers' 2014 schedule released

Major League Baseball released its 2014 schedule on Tuesday, and the Tigers — along with the rest of the American League Central — will face the National League West in interleague play, including a home-and-home series against the Los Angeles Dodgers (April 8-9, July 8-9).

The season opens at home on March 31, against the Kansas City Royals, and closes with 19 straight games against AL Central foes, including a season-ending seven-game home stand.

Detroit will host last year's World Series opponent, the San Francisco Giants, Sept. 5-7, and visit the Arizona Diamondbacks of manager Kirk Gibson on July 21-23. The Colorado Rockies visit Aug. 1-3, while the Tigers visit the Padres April 11-13.

Other key series include: A four-game home series with Texas (May 22-25), a home-and-home series with Pittsburgh (Aug. 11-12 on the road, Aug. 13-14 at home), and seven games against the New York Yankees (Aug. 4-8 on road, Aug. 26-28 at home) in August. Boston visits (June 6-8) for a three-game set at the end of a six-game home stand.
